    has anyone here watched an entire

    Nba game this season?

    I tried last night but it is so hard to watch the whole game.

    Very hard to watch a full NBA game from start to finish.

    Strictly playoffs. The lapses in quality are brutal.
    Same as MLB, when I watch doing other shit with the sound off.

    I live in the DR, and at any given time of day/night I could watch a minimum of 3 FUKKKIN soccer games. Sometimes 5.
    Can`t watch 1 minute of a regular soccer match, but do keep an eye on World Cup.

    I do pay for and watch NFL ALL day Sundays (gamepass) and Redzone.
    Starting to watch more College FB as well.

    Smug type of response. Umm yes?

    I would never pay to watch these clowns.

    Only thing I can watch now is a premier league or champions league match.

    Mlb- only playoffs

    Nba- same

    Nhl- here and there but not whole game until playoffs

    Nfl- lol.

    I used to watch every laker game every season. Not any more. Haven't watched a quarter this season. Haven't watched a minute of hockey. Watch NFL and college.

    I rarely bet nba but even when I do I can't even watch most of the game. It's too stressful, your team leads by 34 with 2 minutes to go and you click over to another channel for 5 seconds and then go back and all of a sudden your team is down 12.

    Not yet. I think I have watched one quarter of a game so far.

    I didn't watch an entire MLB game this past season either.

    And didn't even watch one live pitch of the world series.

    LOL not surprising... How the Fk could you cap an NBA game if you don't watch? Most good NBA bets are knowing coaches and players tendencies and that doesn't show up in the box scores. Not that they always play to their tendencies but this is gambling, its all about being on the right side and how do you figure to do that if you're scratching your twinkie instead of watching some fkn basketball?

    LOL a few, but tbh the new league pass app is awesome and I've been watching 2nd and 4th quarters mostly and studying the play by play for subs.

    Yeah the option to switch between games is pretty cool to have, so outside of some TNT nights where there are just 2 or 3 games on or if I have a 4 figure play going I'll rarely just watch one specific entire game. But it's my favourite sport to watch, easily. We're all different I guess.

    Hardly EVER! However I watched the GSW vs LAC the other night. It was a late start in my timezone, plus I had a larger than normal bet on GSW.

    Well I actually enjoy sports, was a former D1 athlete, and work in athletics. Wasn't trying to be smug, just find it weird that most people here don't like sports but spend all day talking about it

    I have watched a couple nba games, for instance the Thunder game yesterday vs the Bulls.
    What became apparent right away was how OKC shoots really tough shots and they have trouble
    creating team basketball plays to get guys good looks. Chicago looks very much like a team,
    every guy knows his role, backdoor cuts for layups for Butler. Gasol in the Post, Deng on the wing,
    and Rose penetrating the paint. And then the team defense.
    The Nfl has been no fun to watch because the fantasy football commercials seemed to have ruined the experience.
    And this year you have 5 really good teams that win every game, then a bunch of weak teams
    Also its no fun to see players look like they are not getting up on the field, like in the last Cowboy game.
    Then the silly rule changes have made the game worse.
    In football you can be a really good player, but the coach can stink and just cause the whole team to lose.
    And the refs are always making bad critical calls, Like when Seattle got robbed vs the Jets last game of season like 15 years ago.

    I have been having more fun watching tennis, its different because its one on one, you can see how much mental strength and focus
    goes into it. Matches last anywhere from 90 minutes to 150 minutes. Its a great sport for women.
    Like Tomorrow morning is the semifinals in Paris.

    Last year was really getting into college basketball, it was a really good season, particularly smaller divisions
    such as the MAAC, Mac, Big South Big West, conference Usa

    Also what they did today in NBA Miami vs Pacers. I like these kind of matchups
    WHat I don't want to see is Cavs vs Bulls, The NBA sometimes pushes their marquee players too much instead of
    promoting team ball.

    Just like the person said above. Some team could lead by a billion and still fudge it up

    Just finished watching the Hawks @ Pelicans match. Hawks were up by alot, most of the game by 13-15.

    Middle of the 4th up by 17 and the game was level at 102-102 with 4 minutes to go But in the end they won. Had a few hundred on ML Hawks

    Cavs are 2nd in the league in assists. LeBron James is the ultimate team player (often to a fault). What are you on about?

    Refs and diva offensive movie stars have made it completely unwatchable I respect some players I just liked the days were if you came into the lane guns blazing u were knocked on your ass. Baseball I can easily watch a whole game but it's cause I still feel There is integrity left in it...nfl is getting un watchable due to countless petty calls

    Agree. I won't watch an entire basketball game until March Madness and NBA playoffs. Just too much life to live to spend it watching regular season basketball. Its also why I don't understand why anyone would buy season tickets to MLB. Who goes to 81 home games??? Really??? First you have to have the income, second the time, third the interest. I just don't get it.

    You answered your own question there. The reason you don't get it is probably because you don't have the money, the time, or the interest (or all 3). I totally get those people. Must be awesome to have a sport where you can attend 81 games. I'm pretty happy attending 50-ish soccer games though (including away).
